Hal - Reviews

Story

This is basically a story of love, loss, grief, coming to terms with said grief, and moving on.  Be prepared for many "feelz" in this movie.  Then there's the plot twist that will make you change your perspective on things.  The only thing really negative about the story is that some of the subplots feel slightly under-developed (which is probably due to the movie being only an hour long).  That said, the story is still quite enjoyable and will probably make you cry.

Animation

The animation is quite beautiful and well done.

Sound

The background music is great and fits the scenes very well.  While the credits song isn't the most memorable song in the world, it's pleasant and fits the movie.  Also, the English dub (though probably not as good as the Japanese version) is pretty decent.

Characters

While there is only so much character development you can put into a hour long movie, most of the characters (some more so than others) do get at least semi-decent development.

Overall

Overall, I find this to a very enjoyable movie.  While I think this movie could've been even better if it was 20 or 30 minutes longer (which would allow for more development for characters and certain sub-plots), even as it is it's still worth watching.

I didn't really like this movie Hal the ending was kinda predicted and I also didn't like how they just threw out the robot like it was trash it made me sad 

A very sad anime, make sure you have the tissues ready.

The plot twists so much that you want to watch it again to see it in a new light.

The anime is a lot about overcoming loss and how the main characters deals with it.

  I've cried several times while watching this movie. It was so emotional :'( It was about the importance of realising how valuable our relationships for us are. Actually I am very suprised that this movie is so underrated, It was perfect! It's worth watching.

This was a beautiful movie, which made me cry more than any other movie has. The plot changed so drastically that I kept crying even though I was trying to understand what was happening. The characters are very beautiful and I would definitely watch it again!
